Your Questions Answered
What is the typical timeline for an escrow and title closing?
While every transaction is unique, a standard residential closing typically takes between 30 to 45 days. Refinance transactions often move more quickly. Our team works proactively to ensure all title, survey, and lender requirements are met well ahead of your scheduled closing date.
What services are included in the settlement process?
Our comprehensive services include title searches, clearing title issues, coordinating payoffs, preparing settlement statements, conducting the closing, recording documents at the courthouse, and issuing title insurance policies to protect buyers and lenders.
Who pays for title insurance and closing costs?
The allocation of costs often varies by jurisdiction—Maryland, DC, Virginia, and PA each have different local customs. Generally, title insurance and recording fees are negotiable between buyers and sellers in the sales contract. We provide clear estimates early so all parties know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer remote or mobile closing options?
Yes, we understand that convenience is key. We offer mobile notary services and, where legally permitted by the state and lender, remote online notarization (RON). Our goal is to make the final settlement step as easy as possible for you.
How do you coordinate with my agent and lender?
Communication is our priority. We maintain constant contact with your real estate agent and lender, providing regular status updates and ensuring all parties are aligned for a successful, on-time closing without last-minute surprises.
